1.Omron HEM-790IT Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Advanced Omron Health Management Software from: Omron April 01, 2007

This monitor provided poor results. I compared it to readings at home with an Omron wrist monitor (ModelRX2). It typically reads 20-25 units higher than the wrist monitor for both systolic and diastolic. The wrist monitor has been reasonably consistent and agrees well with my readings at the doctor's office, and another wrist monitor (HEM-608). I took this monitor to the doctor's office as well, and it was 30 units higher than the nurse's and doctor's measurements. My doctor recommended I not use it. He was more pleased with my wrist monitor. As such I have returned the HEM-90IT and am using the wrist monitor since I have much more confidence in it. I bought this unit for its computer record keeping, but its not worth it if I have little confidence in the numbers.

I have tried several pedometers over the last couple of years. I found this one to be easy to program and use. The numbers are big enough it can be read easily without my glasses. I have tested against other machines to see the accuracy of my numbers and found it to be right on the mark. I loved it so much I have bought one for my walking partner!

I have lost approximately 70 lbs. in the last 4 months... I'd have an exact figure if only I had not put off purchasing this scale until 2 and a half months ago! This is the best scale I've ever utilized and provides me daily input as to the reality of my momentum! Prior to this scale I never listened to scales as I started off as a 300 lb. large framed male, my weight could fluctuate as much as 12 lbs. in a day and 3 of the 5 reputable weight charts out there have my end weight falling below my actual lean body mass as I am large framed and am putting on considerable muscle. I'd weigh myself but pay more attention to how I fit into clothing as a motivator. This scale tells me everyday exactly where I am and where I'm going! Each morning I hop on and log my weight, ...

I bought this about 6 months ago and it died. It all started about 2 days after i bought it. Whenever i would hit the big button to turn on the light on the watch it would make the numbers impossible to see. I thought it was a normal reaction to dying batteries, so i replaced them (I had just received the watch). That seemed to fix the problem for about 1 week. then it started to get worse and worse. I replaced the battery 2 more times (making this bargain watch less bargain). Then yesterday it died completely when i tried to turn on the light on the watch. I will go with a polar next time. it may be more expensive, but my friends who have them are still using them while i am burying mine in the back yard in a solemn ceremony tonight. 'Ave Maria'

5.Pedometer Walking: Stepping Your Way to Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness by: Mark Fenton, David R. Bassett January 01, 2006

This is a super pedometer! Easy read, stores lots of info, and software to store it away on. Provides monthly chart to preserve what I do or don't do so far as walking goals in an easily accessed and colorful way. I'm on my second. Only complaint is the safety clip which attaches to pocket or waistband was fragile on the first and broke which meant it was constantly falling to the ground. Pedometer survived the falls and still works fine but I was concerned I'd lose it so ordered another. Great investment if you're interested in keeping records of your progress.

I have another Japanese wrist monitor which is 6yo and still works great, but it has no interface for uploading data to the PC. I decided to buy HEM-670IT for its connectivity feature. USB interface is a good addition to such kind of product but I was amazed with the Advanced Positioning Sensor! It works great and makes measurements precise. I recommend HEM-670IT to everyone. Superb quality product!

10.The Step Diet: Count Steps, Not Calories to Lose Weight and Keep It off Forever by: James O. Hill, John C. Peters, Bonnie T. Jortberg April 01, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.12
Note: I obtained this book used and so received the book only, not the included pedomter. I was interested in The Step Diet because after purchasing a pedometer (not the one that came with this book), I was looking for some simple, easy strategies to increase my daily step totals. I should preface my comments by saying that I am not exactly the book's intended target audience: I am not trying to lose weight, and I already exercise daily. However, when I am NOT exercising, I am fairly sedentary, which is why I acquired a pedometer, and I hoped that this book would help me take further steps (excuse the pun!) towards being more active. As other reviewers have suggested, this book takes the same two-step approach to weight loss with which we are all familiar: exercise more and eat ... Read More
